Emily Gibson

I'm a lifestyle blogger, irate citizen and organisational genius.

Age: 23

What I Do, Job-wise: I’m an Account Manager for a creative agency in London.

What I Do, Fun-wise: I like running, exploring new places (mostly bars, admittedly), reading, boxing and going to pole fitness classes. (No, not pole dancing. There's nothing sexy about squooshing your cellulite into a metal bar while you hang off it by your ankles.) Also, I've never met a gin cocktail I didn't like.

My Motto: "To change one’s life: 1. Start immediately. 2. Do it flamboyantly. 3. No exceptions."

My Anti-Motto: "Everything happens for a reason." (Bollocks to fate!)

The First Movie Star I Ever Had A Crush On: Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible II. I was eleven at the time, so still short enough to be his girlfriend and it not be weird (ish). Other pre-teen famous person crushes include Benny (the non-beardo) from ABBA and Dec from SMTV Live.

My “celebs to make out with” list: CHRISTIAN BALE. Also Jim Carey, he’s got a smashing set of gnashers on him.

The Most Played Song On My Spotify: It’s on an ever-turning carousel of Something Corporate and Placebo.

Last Book I Read Without Skimming Any Parts: That Woman by Anne Sebba, a biography of Wallis Simpson. I thought I looked rather like her on the back cover photo and then started reading and found out that everyone thought she looked like a bloke.

My Most Worn Item of Clothing: Carvela monster wedges. In fact, I have two pairs, just in case I lose one in the perpetual shit-pit that is my bedroom. Also: black silk skirt from Antipodium that cost me an arm and two legs but goes with everything. And black opaque Wolford tights. The initial outlay is worth not having a saggy gusset after the second wash.

Beauty Products That I Hoard: Benefit Erase Paste, Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Zero, Illamasqua lipsticks and Paul Penders Avocado & Cranberry PM Moisturiser.

I smell like: Angel by Thierry Mugler.

I Have Faked An Orgasm (Yes/No): Yeah, sometimes just out and about. You know, in the Co-Op, or on the Tube. For jokes, like.
